I hear ya and agree with most of what you're saying and the sentiment behind it but she didn't delete the thread, she nuked it and then got nuked her own self. THEN the thread got deleted by the powers that be. Instead of clogging up the front page with yet another thread about this overwrought, whiny, BS drama-fest you should add your post to one of the many already started about this tired subject and then delete this thread.
Here's the story behind that duck and why I like that duck.
Many many moons ago this duck waddled this world. LOL
Everyone revered the duck for he was very intelligent and wise.
One day the duck waddled into this one village and came upon an angry man.
The angry man asked the duck "How can I cure my anger?" Oh great duck!
The duck instructed the man in a simple and effective way how to do it.
The man became happy and lost his anger at that moment because he could easily make this work.
The duck then left for many years not to be seen again until one day he passed thru again .. Quack!
The man who had been angry on first meeting the duck ran happily up to him upon seeing the duck again after so long and telling the duck how he's now completely cured of anger.
Ho Mannnn!!!
The man invited the duck to come for dinner to celebrate.
All around the table they sat and happily ate.
Finally !!!! The man said I'm cured of anger again to the duck.
Then the duck whispered to the mans wife that the food sucked.
She was taken aback for moment and thought she heard wrong and asked again what the duck said.
This time the duck spoke out loud and said "you suck as a cook and you're ugly to boot!
Oh sh!t!!
Anyways the man suddenly told the duck he's a no good duck and is insulting him and his wife in their home.
The duck kept on insulting the man and his wife in so many ways.
Finally the man lost it and became very angry and started screaming at the duck in so many profane obscenities and told him to get out!
"You're and aszhole and not a saintly duck like they say!!!!" he screamed very pissed off now.
The duck calmly replied "I may or may not be what you say"
Especially ones who liked Django and have a smoking duck as their icon!
I love Django! Reinhardt.
Contemporary copies of him aren't the best though. Too many pasty white guys copping licks in a lone bedroom. It's hard to pull off a replica of a Great Gatsby-era Jimi Hendrix and that music is too closely associated in my mind with a talent of that stature to listen to piddling talents.
How many here have held a big fat duck on its back in your lap and tickled it, huh?
No way you can be angry doing that I tell ya. And,you can bet yer life, ducks love to laugh!
And when their feet start goin' about 1000 rpm things can get pretty damn silly!
Clearly these chicks/ducks are prepubescent. I am offended....BIG TIME. You people are insensitive and into weird fetish stuff. I know this as I hold a PHD in Ornithology STUDies. Sickos!
you guys, i am so angry right now. i am writing two (2) letters. one to phillip-morris and one to wbraun for exploiting the image of that duck. it's time the tobacco companies quit advertising to ducks and other winged creatures, even the rare and majestic pegasus. someone should at least make a nicotine patch that sticks to feathers.
